Multiple backup storage locations, how is it handled?

I'm experimenting with the Backup features of NX now and for testing I added a couple extra disks to the system. For 2 disks I changed the storage from "Main" to "Backup" so I now effectively have 2 backup storage disks.

Can I somehow select which camera needs to be backed up to which backup storage? 

In the Backup configuration tab I can only select the camera's I want to backup and. what needs to be backups (all, motion, ...) but I cannot select the backup storage location for each camera?

So now I wonder what NW will be doing. It seems to be using both disks but it's unclear to me which data goes to which disk...

  Hi Andy Knuts,

  See THIS support article about how Nx Witness manages storage.

  So if you have 2 identical backup drives, 50% of the data goes to the first backup drive, and 50% to the second backup drive.
